Chlorine and Iodine


Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants

in Chlorofluoroiodomethane


 








 


 





Full iodine and chlorine nqcc tensors in chlorofluoroiodomethane, as well as several ab initio molecular structures, were determined by Cuisset et al. [1].

 








Calculation of the nqcc tensors was made here on the MP2/SDB-VTZ and on the ab initio re structures (see ref [1]).  These nqcc's are compared with the experimental values in Tables 1 - 3.  Structure parameters are given in Table 4.

 








In Tables 1 - 3, subscripts a,b,c refer to the principal axes of the inertia tensor; x,y,z to the principal axes of the nqcc tensor.  Ø (degrees) is the angle between its subscripted parameters.  ETA = (Xxx - Xyy)/Xzz.

RMS is the root mean square difference between calculated and experimental diagonal nqcc's (percentage of the average of the magnitudes of the experimental nqcc's).  RSD is the calibration residual standard deviation of the models for calculation of the nqcc's:  For iodine, B1LYP/6-311G(df,p); and for chlorine, B1LYP/TZV(3df,2p).  Ahlrichs' TZV basis for iodine is available here.
